‘Tourists go home’ say Spanish locals in backlash to holiday boom

Enough is enough… ‘Foreign tourists go home!’ So say some exasperated residents in Palma, Majorca, who have resorted to graffiti in a backlash against a booming tourist trade. On the walls of the grand old houses of the Balearic port which attracts millions of foreigners every year, scrawled messages of this kind have flourished. One urges tourists to leave but says: “Refugees welcome”. While still a minority protest, tensions are real in Majorca and elsewhere in Spain over a surge in visitors which is certainly boosting the economy but also, critics say, disrupting the lives of residents and straining local services. A popular holiday venue for decades, Spain is drawing record numbers of visitors this year as tourists shun other destinations where security is a concern, such as Egypt, Turkey and Tunisia.

But, for many Spaniards, the jump in tourism has a downside. “They want to turn us into a theme park, a place you close the doors on at night because no-one lives there,” said Luis Clar, who heads an association in the La Seu neighborhood of Palma, home to its main monuments. In the Balearic Islands off Spain’s eastern Mediterranean coast, nearly a third of employment depends on the sector. It accounts for nearly half the economic output, more than in any other region. The local economy has just recovered to its pre-crisis level after a five-year downturn. Cala Fornells, a wonderful place.

In the drought-prone island of Ibiza water reserves are getting tight and in rural Menorca fears are mounting that natural beauty-spots risk being spoiled. In spots like Magaluf on Majorca, binge drinking and boisterous behaviour have long been a problem. On one day last August, the population across the Balearics nearly doubled, reaching a record 2 million. The latest data from March shows visitors to the archipelago were up nearly 50 percent from 2015 in that month alone, swelled by arrivals from Britain in particular. All-inclusive holidays for the peak summer months are selling out. In Palma, residents know that there are days to avoid the city centre, especially when cruise ships carrying thousands of passengers mass in the harbour, and some worry that entire neighbourhoods will turn into holiday lets. Similar concerns led to angry protests in Barcelona two years ago, where residents in beachfront areas rallied against the rise in drunk and disorderly holidaymakers that coincided with a blossoming trade in tourist apartments.

Haiti Concern is mounting in Haiti as Hurricane Matthew edges closer to the Caribbean nation. Traveling at seven kilometres an hour, the hurricane is bringing 230 kilometre-an-hour winds and heavy rain. It is the strongest storm to menace the Caribbean since 2007. The centre is expected to make landfall near southwestern Haiti and Jamaica late on Monday. #Matthew 15-25” rain S. Haiti & SW Dominican.

More than 200,000 people were killed when a seven-magnitude earthquake struck in 2010. The storm comes at a bad time for the country. A long-delayed election is due to be held next Sunday. La Savane Hurricane Matthew fears grow in Haiti, some resist shelters https://t.co/X0hVzBCxTb— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) October 3, 2016 1,300 shelters have been set up with the capacity to hold 340,000 people. Haitian officials say around 2,000 residents of the La Savane neighbourhood of Les Cayes are refusing to heed government calls to move out of their homes. The power has reportedly gone off in the town. The chief of police says it is impossible to force such a large number of people to leave their homes. “I would have to arrest all those people and take them to a safe place, this is very difficult,” Luc Pierre told reporters. The neighbourhood is just a few miles from where the centre of the hurricane is forecast to make landfall. Some streets are already flooded in Les Cayes, a town of around 70,000 people. Jamaica Officials are scrambling to protect the vulnerable from the worst of the coming storm. Residents have boarded windows and are stocking up on essentials in supermarkets. Evacuation operations are underway. Some have even taken refuge in a network of caves. Matthew is around 415 kilometres southeast of Kingston on Sunday evening. The hurricane centre has ranked the storm at Category 4 on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane intensity. It is expected to turn to the north overnight.

What they are saying “We are worried about the slow pace of Hurricane Matthew, which will expose Haiti to much more rain, and the country is particularly vulnerable to flooding,” – Ronald Semelfort, director of Haiti’s national meteorology centre. “The police and local authorities and our evacuation teams have been instructed to do all they can to move those people, by force if necessary,” – Haiti Interior Minister Francois Anick Joseph. “There are babies crying here, there is nothing at all,” – 32-year-old Nadja, pregnant with her fourth child.
